Aunt Phyllis, 55, passed away peacefully at her home in Washington City Wednesday, May 13, 2009, after a courageous battle with cancer.
She was born Sept. 18, 1953, in Panguitch, to Robert Phil and Roene Adams Dickinson, and was the youngest of three daughters.
Phyllis was sealed for time and all eternity to her sweetheart, Kirkman Z. Mitchell, Feb. 16, 1974, in the St. George LDS temple. They are the parents of four children and the grandparents of seven grandchildren.
Phyllis loved to provide service to others and had a deep, unwavering faith. She always served with her whole heart in the many callings she had in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and enjoyed attending the temple.
She loved sewing and quilting, but most of all she loved spending time with her children and grandchildren. Her top priority was her family and she made her home a magical and welcoming place for all of us. She was a wonderful wife, mother, sister, cousin, niece and friend to so many who loved her so much.
Phyllis is survived by her husband, Kirk, Washington City; children, Mindi (Kenny) Jacobson, Coalville; Kody (Rachel) Mitchell, Washington City; Krystal Mitchell, Salt Lake City; and MaKayle (Luke) Larsen, Layton; grandchildren, Kaden and Kyler Jacobson, and Kelton, Rylee, Bitner, Kinley Mitchell and Kaisa Larsen; her Mother, Roene A. Dickinson; and sisters, RoLayne (Harry J.) Gardner, all Idaho Falls, Idaho; Lynda (Paul) Henrie, West Jordan; in addition to many nieces, nephews, cousins and extended family.
She was preceded in death by her father, Robert Phil Dickinson.
Funeral services were held May 18, at the Washington Fields LDS 11th ward chapel in Washington City.
Interment was in the Kingston Cemetery.
